And no they weren’t similar. Mahomes wasn’t benched in college. Mahomes had a very high ceiling and people thought he could be Brett Favre. Mahomes wasn’t the 6th QB drafted in his own draft class. Nix is a high floor QB prospect while Mahomes was a high ceiling QB prospect. Comparing them is stupid. You want to compare Mahomes to any Broncos QB draft pick? The best one is Jay Cutler. |

Nix's ceiling is a more athletic version of Drew Brees. Do I think he is going to end up throwing for 80K yards and almost 600 TDs? No, I think that is unlikely. What I am saying is that none of the predictions right now make any more difference than the ones made seven years ago about Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs took a giant risk back then that most considered unwise. The average Broncos fan is being cautiously optimistic about the QB situation. No one is boldly stating that we just drafted a guy who seven years from now will have won multiple Super Bowls and MVPs. |

I have. That's the point. The numbers improved dramatically overnight. If you aren't willing to attribute some of that to a step down in competition, you're just refusing to face reality.

Btw, you DO understand that Mahomes didn't play in the SEC, right? Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 05-02-2024 at 11:37 PM.. |

Come on, man. You spend enough time there to know that that is simply not true. There is one poster there that is considered the most extreme of the crazies that is spamming nearly every thread with that stupid crap. Said poster has been around, by my memory, for at least fifteen years. In those fifteen years, he's been almost stunningly wrong. This poster boldly declared a few weeks ago that he had inside information that the Broncos were going to select Laiatu Latu at number 12 - which would be the start of a "milk toast" 2024 draft. Quoting him reflects more on you than on Broncos fans.

Yeah, Mahomes is pure shit. Just like your QB takes. He didn't play in the SEC.
